In several weeks I will be doing a presentation on UNIX
and the Humanities to an AT&T meeting. One of the themes
I will sound is: Humanist have good reason to be afraid of
UNIX. At Hopkins, a substantial user base was recently
wiped out by a hardware upgrade that killed the e-mail as
well as the Ibycus system. All energies of the systems
people were devoted to fixing the mail, and the Ibycus will
probably be reborn on the Macs, not on UNIX. This is just
a small anecdote of what happens to the humanist minority
of computer users.

For my presentations I would like to collect success stories
as well as reports of atrocities.

If you would like to help in this project, please
respond (a brief note will do) via e-mail to:

Speaking of Micro-OCP, has anyone on the US side of the
Atlantic been able to acquire the program? I sent an
inquiry to Oxford some time ago. I was told I would be
be contacted by a distributor in New York, but I've heard
nothing. Further inquiries to Oxford have as yet produced
no results.
